  • Heinz Nordhoff Und Volkswagen: Ein Deutscher Unternehmer Im Amerikanischen Jahrhundert'
    H-German Mierzejewski on Edelmann, 'Heinz Nordhoff und Volkswagen: Ein deutscher Unternehmer im amerikanischen Jahrhundert' Review published on Wednesday, September 1, 2004 Heidrun Edelmann. Heinz Nordhoff und Volkswagen: Ein deutscher Unternehmer im amerikanischen Jahrhundert. Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2003. 363 S. + 36 Abb. (gebunden), ISBN 978-3-525-36268-6. Reviewed by Alfred C. Mierzejewski (Department of History, University of North Texas) Published on H-German (September, 2004) A German Manager in the Welfare State Heidrun Edelmann has written a conventional chronological biography of the first general director of Volkswagen, Heinz Nordhoff. It is the first scholarly study of Nordhoff and, for this reason alone, merits the attention of historians of post-war German business. Edelmann contends that Nordhoff was influenced by Catholic social teaching and by his impressions of American management practices. She argues that through the application of these ideas, he promoted labor peace in post- war West Germany, thereby contributing to the success of Germany's first democracy. Edelmann uses an extensive range of documentary sources, primarily from the VW Archive. Remarkably, she does not use the complementary files of the Federal Ministry of Economics (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft) and the Federal Ministry of Finances (Bundesministerium für Finanzen) at the Bundesarchiv, Koblenz. This weakens her account of the privatization of Volkswagen in particular. Surprisingly, she does not list those documentary sources that she does use in her bibliography. She does provide a complete list of the published materials that she consulted. Edelmann's book provides insight into West German management attitudes toward profit and the social responsibility of firms.
